Description:
Lux Lapis is a light weight mineral that is often found in the more mountainous regions of Dubrillion, usually in small veins deep below the surface. Due to the depth it is often found at, and its limited quantities, it is at times minor in its production, with few larger deposits providing for a substantial quantity of the mineral. It's light weight and rarity on Dubrillion ensured that it was a luxury item for the populace in the past, with only the richest being able to afford it. Often Lux Lapis was inlaid with other valuable materials in clothing, jewelry and accessories worn by those that could afford such luxuries.
As its wealth, and those deposits closest to the surface began to decline, Lux Lapis saw a slow decline from the market as it was no longer a viable source of income; nor was it worth the risk to continue mining. However, in more recent years, there has been a resurgence in its production. This is due to its reaction with a chemical compound called Zaloxipine (which is often used to keep dangerous inmates manageable).
When crushed into a fine powder, the naturally dull violet mineral becomes a more brilliant violet. When it is mixed with Zaloxipine, and ingested, it creates a feeling of euphoria. Those that have taken the compound have said that for many time seemed to slow down and everything around them shown in a more brilliant and vibrant color. Like many forms of narcotics, addictions can be easily formed, and often the users must take larger quantities of the drug to feel the sense of euphoria again. Side effects that have been viewed were increased aggression, and emotional imbalances.
